How are arteries that lead from your heart to your lungs different from other arteries?

the artieries that lead to your heart have carbon dioxide (Co2) in them and the arteries that lead to your body are carrying oxygen to the body parts


What is the only vein in the body rich in carbon dioxide?

the answer it the pulmanary vein


What is the only artery in the body rich in carbon dioxide?

In adult humans, almost ALL arteries carry oxygenated blood.The arteries that carry non-oxygenated blood are the pulmonary arteries, which carry venous blood pumped from the right ventricle to the lungs. Because the term "artery" refers to "blood vessels leaving the heart" the pulmonary arteries are arteries, and the pulmonary veins are unique in that they carry oxygenated blood (from the lungs to the left side of the heart).*There is a related question "What are the only veins that carry oxygenated blood?"


Which do you inhale when you breath oxygen or carbon dioxide?

Both! your body only keeps the oxygen though and when you breath out the carbon ddioxide comes out


How is blood in the pulmonary artery different from blood in arterys?

The pulmonary artery runs from the heart to the lungs. It is the only artery that doesn't carry oxygenated blood. That makes it a darker red than the blood in other arteries, so it looks blue under your skin.


How does breathing?

You don't only "breath in air, and breath out air," You breath in Oxygen and let out Carbon Dioxide. Passes to the diaphragm and the lungs, inhale oxygen, it goes through your body, exhale Carbon Dioxide, From which the body has made when inhaled.


What is pulmonary Artery and Vein?

The Pulmonary Artery is the only artery in the body to carry deoxygenated blood from the Heart to the lungs where it "picks up" Oxygen and "Drops off" Carbon dioxide by the process of Diffusion through the 1 cell thick air sacks in the lungs. The Pulmonary Vein is the only vein then to bring oxygenated blood anywhere in the body, the oxygenated blood goes to the Left hand side of the heart (think about it as if you were personally looking down at your own heart, not as a diagram) then the left hand side of the heart pumps it around the body through the aorta.


Only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood?

The only artery that is supposed to carry deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery. It carried deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation. Any artery can carry deoxygenated blood, so be careful how you word questions.


What vessels carry blood rich in carbon dioxide?

In short, the veinules, the pulmonary artery, and all veins except for the pulmonary vein are the blood vessels that carry blood that is rich in carbon dioxide. Unless you want to explain all that, the best answer is "veins." The capillaries that carry carbon dioxide back toward the heart are called veinules. The veinules join up to form veins. They eventually connect to the vena cava. The vena cava, which is the largest vein coming from the body, also carries deoxygenated blood, like nearly every other vein. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and is the only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, and it is the only vein that carries oxygen-rich blood.


Why is not possible to stop breathing voluntarily?

Breathing is the only process where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. Oxygen is being delivered to the body parts where oxygen is needed, whilst removing carbon dioxide.


Why is the fuel burned in the car with the aluminum alloy body better for the environment than petrol?

Only water is produced No carbon dioxide is produced Less carbon dioxide produced or less global warming
